Dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy S4 Duos launches with Exynos 5 Octa chip

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Duos is the dual-SIM version of Samsung’s 2013 flagship and it has now gone on sale in Asia under the Samsung I9502 model name. Overall, the single biggest difference from the standard S4 model is the inclusion of two SIM cards slots, it is otherwise almost completely identical to the international Galaxy S4.

The Galaxy S4 Duos features the same gorgeous 5-inch 1080p full HD Super AMOLED screen and runs on an Exynos 5 Octa chip with each of the cores clocked at 1.6GHz.

Otherwise, here is a quick rundown of the technical specs of the S4 Duos:

I just don't understand why dual SIM phones seem to be marketed primarily in the Asian markets. I'm not complaining - I haven no use for a dual SIM phone - I just don't get why this option seems so important in Asian markets.

From what i know, people who use phones with dual sim are people who are mostly economic in their approach. I don't know how making a dual sim version of an expensive phone will make a difference, not just the Galaxy S4, but any other flagship (if they come up with any).
And as i see, there are too many variants of S4 already! The S4 Mini, S4 Exynos, S4 Snapdragon 600, the dual-SIM S4 with Exynos. Won't be surprised if a dual-SIM version of S4 with Snapdragon 600 gets launched. Not a bad thing, but it's confusing.

hi! Asian markets are totally different with the ones in UK and US... Take for an instance here in the Philippines, most phones are bought unlocked and the sim is the only one under contract or on postpaid. Unlike US/UK, postpaids are infamous in most Asian markets thus prepaid sims are ubiquitous. We can change sims every time we wanted to if the other network is offering something great.As the network carriers are competing to lure more customers, the end users are keeping each others' great offers by keeping to sims, thus it gave birth to dual sim phones which was presented 6 years ago. Even TV antenna is deeply integrated with phones. so, to sum it all, yeah...its business and its personal...
its like enjoying the goods of T-Mobile and still connected with the people under Sprint or etc...

Filipino here, well we love texting :)
And it is really diffcult to make ur friends and relatives grow in one cellular network so we want to handle more sims just to lessen d cost of every call and txt and grab prepaid promos/offers.unlimited txt to all networks makes dual sim less desirable :)

It was great experiance. The only protential problem i can see with smart scroll feature is if your reading on the bus and it goes over a speed bump. Other than that, no other problems. Smart pause is another great feature (which works with youtube) where it pauses if you turn her head away from the screen.

Its because in asian countries people go for GSM connection very often and there is a tight competetion among carriers some offer better voice plans where as some offer better data plans and people don't mind switicing network quickly.
